Product Description
Have you ever asked: Why does my cat...bite me when i try to groom her?...roll over on his back when he greets me?...suck the sleeve of my woollen jumper?...try to sleep in my baby's cot?...refuse to use the litter tray?...bring his prey home to show us? This practical and helpful book, written by a veterinary surgeon who specialises in behaviour therapy, not only provides the answers, but explains how an understanding of feline instincts can enable you to deal with behaviour that may be a problem to you but is often perfectly normal. Your cat is still very similar to the tiger in the jungle, and the book's A to Z of cat behaviour could be an eye-opener in helping you to appreciate why your pet's natural instincts motivate her to respond in a certain way to situations in the home. By redirecting those instincts, or removing the stimulus that provokes an unwelcome reaction, you will make it possible for your cat to be herself without disrupting the household. With many fascinating insights, and a valuable alphabetical section of advice on specific problems, 'Why Does My Cat...?' ensures that your free-spirited, much loved cat will remain a source of joy and happiness and not become a doubtful blessing in your life.

Format:Paperback
Leaving the comedy cat books in the down stairs toilet aside, this is probably the cat book that gets read - or at least - referred to the most out of all the ones I own.
It's more of a reference book than a book for reading - something to dip in and out of as problems or questions arise, although hardened cat fans could read it cover to cover I suppose.
It's a series of letters containing cat-related queries, sent to the author over the years, which she's collected and included in this book with her written response and evaluation of each and every problem.
Questions such as - 'my cat never had a problem going to the litter box until now' or ' Why doesn't my cat like my new girlfriend' or ' why does my cat bite me when I take him to the vet?'... things like that. You then get a full and in depth analysis of the problem, what the cause could be and how you can try and solve it.
A fairly interesting read in its own way and both practical and useful. It's also full of content. No pages stuffed with cat picture here. Overall, a useful look at the cats mind and how it works. 8/10.
If you found this review helpful please give it the thumbs up, and if not, comment on why so I can do a better job for you next time. Thanks :-)

I use this as reference rather than reading from cover to cover. It's helped me deal with scratching and firework nerves.

Not The Best.
I got this for a frined of mine. The book is a bit too detailled I think for a quick read. It seems slightly too involved and maybe slightly to in depth for anyone to actually get... Read more

More of a reference book than a reading book
This book is written as an A-Z of different cat behaviour. Each section has an explanation a question and then an answer. Read more
